Praise for the These Vicious Masks trilogy:
These Ruthless Deeds:
"I have to admit that I'm truly becoming obsessed with this series. The writing is humorous and brilliant. The characters are all perfection. ... Utter brilliance." --BookCrushin
"Intrigue, action, magic, swords (lots of swords), and fantastic characters await the reader in this newest installment to These Vicious Masks! ... I can't wait for the next one and the ending of this one will have you screaming for more." --Crossroad Reviews
"These Ruthless Deeds is everything the title suggests: it is ruthless, but the synergy between Shanker and Zekas allows the novel to be so much more. It is a romance, a suspense, a comedy, a fantasy, an adventure... it is everything I love in YA books and more and I cannot wait for the third and final book in this amazing series." --thebookcorps

This is a perfect pick for someone who wants a little magic in their Victorian novels, and its combination of historical fiction and mysticism will remind readers of Libba Bray's Gemma Doyle trilogy." --Booklist
"This tale has brisk pacing, plenty of action, and a heroine with more than her fair share of girl-power confidence." --School Library Journal
"This is a great read, compelling and addictive. Well written and great character development you cannot stop reading. I was spellbound from the beginning and I thoroughly enjoyed the journey!" --Sue Speakman, reader on Swoon Reads.com
